The event, which was well attended by the local community, featured a bouncy castle, barbecue, live music and raffle. Guests also had the chance to tour the care home and learn more about The Halesowen Project, which offers a welcoming space for retired citizens to socialize and enjoy refreshments without membership fees.

Following the barbecue, Home Manager Jo Cox visited The Halesowen Project to formally donate the funds raised. During the visit, The Halesowen Project expressed their gratitude for the support and highlighted how the donation will be used to purchase new furniture for their centre, helping to maintain a comfortable environment for the elderly community.

Jo Cox, Home Manager, remarked, "We’re proud to support The Halesowen Project for the Elderly. The funds raised will help enhance their facilities, ensuring they can continue to serve the community effectively. Shenstone Court Care Home remains committed to supporting local initiatives that benefit the community.”
